Ag Informer – Pepsi and Farming

PepsiCo announces a $216 million multi-year investment in long-term, strategic partnership agreements with three of the most well-respected farmer-facing organizations – Practical Farmers of Iowa (PFI), to drive adoption of regenerative agriculture practices across the United States.

The combined impact of these three strategic partnerships is expected to support the accelerated uptake of regenerative practices on more than three million acres and deliver approximately three million metric tons of greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions and removals by 2030.

PepsiCo will work alongside these trusted organizations to establish and scale financial, agronomic, and social programs that enable the transition to regenerative agriculture practices through education, upfront investment in outcomes, peer coaching and networking, and cost-sharing.

As the largest food and beverage company in North America, and second largest globally, a resilient food system is essential to PepsiCo’s business and its ability to meet its ambitious pep+ targets which include driving the adoption of regenerative agriculture practices across 7 million acres – approximately the size of PepsiCo’s agricultural footprint – by 2030 and achieving net-zero emissions by 2040.
